Summary: "Campaign of the Indus" by T.W.E. Holdsworth is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. The work comprises a series of letters from an officer in the Bombay Division, chronicling military operations in Central Asia as British forces engage in a campaign through territories previously traversed only by Alexander the Great. The letters provide insights into the challenges faced by the soldiers, including harsh conditions, complex political landscapes, and the interactions with local leaders. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for the campaign, as Holdsworth's son, writing from various locations, describes the preparations and the journey of the British troops as they sail towards the Indus River. He recounts the army's composition, the logistical difficulties they encounter, and the anticipation of potential conflicts with the Ameers of Sinde. The correspondence is rich with personal reflections on the soldier's life, offering an intimate perspective on military endeavors during a tumultuous period of British imperial expansion.
